Exploring the Feasibility of Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation in the Treatment of Schizophrenia

1. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) treatment in patients with schizophrenia. Subjects are individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia who will receive non-invasive, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation targeting the hippocampus and its surrounding regions. Evaluations will be conducted before and after the treatment sessions, including electrocardiograms (ECG), blood biochemistry tests, psychiatric symptom assessments, depression level assessments, and cognitive function assessments. 2. The primary objective is to assess the safety of this intervention in patients with schizophrenia. The secondary objective is to explore whether the current stimulation parameters may lead to improvements in the assessed symptoms. Ultimately, this study aims to support the future application of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound as a potential intervention to alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia and improve patients' quality of daily life.
